Conditions  of  Sale 

1.  Any  bid  which  is  merely  a  nominal  or  fractional  advance  may  be  rejected  by 
the  auctioneer,  if,  in  his  judgment,  such  bid  would  be  likely  to  affect  the  sale  in- 
juriously. 

2.  The  highest  bidder  shall  be  the  buyer,  and  if  any  dispute  arise  between 
two  or  more  bidders,  the  auctioneer  shall  either  decide  the  same  or  put  up  for 
re-sale  the  lot  so  in  dispute. 

3.  Payment   shall  be  made  of  all  or  such  part  of  the  purchase  money  as 
may  be  required,  and  the  names  and  addresses  of  the  purchasers  shall  be  given 
immediately  on  the  sale  of  every  lot,  in  default  of  which  the  lot  so  purchased 
shall  be  immediately  put  up  again  and  re-sold. 

Payment  of  that  part  of  the  purchase  money  not  made  at  the  time  of  sale, 
shall  be  made  within  ten  days  thereafter,  in  default  of  which  the  undersigned  may 
either  continue  to  hold  the  lots  at  the  risk  of  the  purchaser  and  take  such  action 
as  may  be  necessary  for  the  enforcement  of  the  sale,  or  may  at  public  or  private 
sale,  and  without  other  than  this  notice,  re-sell  the  lots  for  the  benefit  of  such  pur- 
chaser, and  the  deficiency  (if  any)  arising  from  such  re-sale,  shall  be  a  charge 
against  such  purchaser. 

4.  Delivery  of  any  purchase  will  be  made  only  upon  payment  of  the  total

5.  Shipping,    boxing  or  wrapping  of  purchases   is  a  business  in  which   the 
Association  is  in  no  wise  engaged,  and  will  not  be  performed  by  the  Association 
for  purchasers.     The  Association  will,  however,  afford  to  purchasers  every  facility 
for  employing  at  current  and  reasonable  rates  carriers  and  packers ;  doing  so,  how- 
ever, without  any  assumption  of  responsibility  on  its  part  for  the  acts  and  charges 
of  the  parties  engaged  for  such  service. 

6.  Storage  of  any  purchase  shall  be  at  the  sole  risk  of  the  purchaser.     Title

ciation will  exercise  due  caution  in  caring  for  and  delivering  such  purchase,   it 
will   not    hold    itself    responsible   if   such   purchase    be    lost,    stolen,    damaged    or

be  set 'aside  on  account  of  any  incorrectness,  error  of  cataloguing,  or  any  imper- 
fection not  noted.     Every  lot  is  on  public  exhibition  one  or  more  days,  prior  to  its 
sale,  after  which  it  is  sold  "as  is"  and  without  recourse. 

The  Association  exercises  great  care  to  catalogue  every  lot  correctly,  and  will 
give  consideration  to  the  opinion  of  any  trustworthy  expert  to  the  effect  that  any 
lot  has  been  incorrectly  catalogued,  and,  in  its  judgment,  may  either  sell  the 
lot  as  catalogued  or  make  mention  of  the  opinion  of  such  expert  who  thereby 
would  become  responsible  for  such  damage  as  might  result  were  his  opinion  with- 
out proper  foundation. 

SPECIAL    NOTICE. 

Buying  or  bidding  by  the  Association  for  responsible  parties  on  orders  trans- 
mitted to  it  by  mail,  telegraph  or  telephone,  will  be  faithfully  attended  to  without 
charge  or  commission.  Any  purchase  so  made  will  be  subject  to  the  above  Condi- 
tions of  Sale,  which  cannot  in  any  manner  be  modified.  The  Association,  however, 
in  the  event  of  making  a  purchase  of  a  lot  consisting  of  one  or  more  books  for  a 
purchaser  who  has  not,  through  himself  or  his  agent,  been  present  at  the  exhibition 
or  sale,  will  permit  such  lot  to  be  returned  within  ten  days  from  the  date  of  sale, 
and  the  purchase  money  will  be  returned,  if  the  lot  in  any  material  manner  differs 
from  its  catalogue  description. 

Orders  for  execution  by  the  Association  should  be  written  and  given  with 
such  plainness  as  to  leave  no  room  for  misunderstanding.  Not  only  should  the  lot 
number  be  given,  but  also  the  title,  and  bids  should  be  stated  to  be  so  much 
for  the  lot,  and  when  the  lot  consists  of  one  or  more  volumes  of  books  or  objects 
of  art,  the  bid  per  volume  or  piece  should  also  be  stated.  If  the  one  transmitting

"/  have  just  sent  the  little  'vollum,'  as  Sam  Weller  would  call  it, 
to  T.  &  F.  (Ticknor  &  Fields)  by  express.  If  on  examining  the  ms.  you 
think  there  is  not  sufficient  material  to  make  a  handsome  'blue  and  gold,' 
you  may  quietly  exclaim:  'Why  is  this  thus!'  and  proceed  to  build  a 
plain  12mo.  in  Ticknor's  brown — than  which  there  is  n't  a  more  elegant 
style  when  the  Paper,  Printing,  and  Poetry  happen  to  be  good.  If  we 
stick  to  the  'blue  and  gold,'  do  you  suppose  that  stupid  people  will  think 
it  is  Carleton's  emaciated  volume  grown  corpulent?"  etc.

A  fine  letter  of  personal  interest  written  to  her  cousin  at  Florence, 
thanking  him  for  remembering  her  while  there  and  giving  him  news  of 
her  family  and  friends.  Praises  a  song  of  his  which  appeared  in  "The 
Athenaeum."  mentions  the  success  of  the  "Tableaux  Annual,"  comment- 
ing particularly  on  the  fine  engravings  presented,  and  also  on  Miss 
Mitford's  contribution  of  stories  more  than  usually  full  of  interest  & 
character. 

Speaks  of  her  father  who  is  obliged  to  spend  so  much  time  in  London; 
of  the  hope  held  out  for  the  regaining  of  her  health  and  strength  by  her 
physicians,  although  she  has  been  and  still  is  confined  to  her  bed ;  of  her 
brothers  residing  in  Jamaica,  from  whom  comes  nothing  l)ut  good  news, 
both  of  them  being  perfectly  well  satisfied  with  a  sugar  cane  life.  etc. 

295.  BROWNING  (ELIZABETH  BARRETT — wife  of  Robert  Browning).     A.L.S., 

4pp.  12mo,  Rome,  126  Via  Felice,  April.  To  Mr.  Tilton.  Sends 
lyric  of  "Only  Girl,"  and  refers  to  the  Italian  cause  and  Prince 
Napoleon. 

Reads  in  part, — 

".  .  .  Our  Italian  cause  sweeps  on  its  wan  triumphantly — ,  and  the 
hitch  at  Rome  will  not  stop  it  long — People  in  England  and  elsewhere 
are  beginning  to  understand  at  last  something  of  the  nature  &  extent  of 
Napoleon's  difficulties;  though  you  have  a  'correspondent'  (not  EGG) 
also  sees  wonderful  things,  or  rather  wonderfully  does'nt  see  things.  & 
is  not  likely  to  l)e  converted  from  his  peculiar  opinions  by  what  is  of  such 
merely  general  acceptation  as  a  fact. 

"Prince  Napoleon's  speech  in  the  senate  gave  the  emperor's  interior 
view  (as  I  understand  it)  free  from  the  prepare  of  responsibility,  & 
stripped  of  official  forms  of  presentation.  .  .  .  Let  us  not  forget  to  praise 
the  great  Csar  for  the  freeing  of  the  serfs.— Nerer  can  America  admit  a 
compromise  on  slavery  iti  face  of  that  action.  ..."

1601  is  extremely  rare,  the  few  copies  that  are  known  are  usually  presenta- 
tion copies  from  the  author,  and  it  is  presumed  that  all  copies  with  1601 
instead  of  1602  were  first  issues  printed  for  presentation  purposes.  This 
has  a  contemporary  name  "Benjamin  Maddox"  written  on  the  last  page. 
Fine,  tall  and  clean  copy  with  the  cancel  slip  in  "Musophilns."

When  De  Quincey  wrote  the  "Confessions"  in  1822  the  opium  habit  was 
of  more  than  ten  years'  standing.  He  made  several  efforts  to  conquer  it, 
and  at  one  time  reduced  the  340  grains  which  he  took  daily  to  40  grains. 
An  attachment  formed  at  Grasmere  to  a  Miss  Margaret  Simpson  was  the 
motive  for  his  reform.

London,   1837 

The  original  issues  of  "The  Pickwick  Papers"  in  parts,  and  in  first  state, 
are  almost  unobtainable.  Probably  very  few  of  the  original  buyers  in 
its  periodical  form  succeeded  in  obtaining  first  issues  throughout.  This 
set,  like  nearly  all,  is  mixed,  a  few  are  first  issues  of  the  wrappers  and 
plates,  other  parts  are  second  issues.  All  covers  are  dated  1836  except 
parts  8,  10  and  18.  Part  3  is  without  the  added  line  "By  R.  W.  Buss" 
on  the  cover.  Parts  2,  10,  15,  17,  and  18  have  the  address  leaves.  The 
two  first  plates  by  Phiz  are  the  first  issue  with  the  "Nemo"  signature,  and 
part  3  has  the  Buss  plates.  Some  of  the  advertisement  leaves  are  lacking.

matter  of  small  pox  and  fired  at  the  American  rebels  it  would  sooner 
disband  these  stubborn,  ignorant,  enthusiastic  savages  than  any^  other 
compulsive  measures  such  is  their  fear  and  dread  of  that  disorder. 
note  is  cut  out  as  in  all  copies.  With  the  autograph  on  the  cover  of 
Major  General  Jones,  whose  name  is  in  the  List  of  Subscribers  and  who

FIRST  EDITION  of  Fitzgerald's  second  book.  An  interesting  copy  being 
from  the  library  of  Charles  Keene,  the  famous  artist  and  illustrator  of 
"Punch,"  with  his  bookplate,  and  with  "by  Edward  Fitzgerald"  written 
on  the  title.

FIRST   EDITION.     Fitzgerald   angered   by   literary   criticisms   withdrew 
and  suppressed  the  whole  issue,  and   the  book  is  in   consequence  very 
scarce. 

602.  FITZGERALD  (EDWARD)  .    Salaman  and  Absal.    An  Allegory.    Translated

cloth,  uncut.  London,  J.  W.  Parker  &  Son,  1856 

FIRST  EDITION,  VERY  RARE.  Few  copies  were  published  and  few  were 
sold.  Fitzgerald  once  jocularly  referred  to  a  "public  of  two"  for  this  book, 
and  although  he  doubtless  sold  more  than  two  copies  yet  the  book  has 
practically  disappeared.

603.  FITZGEEALD  (EDWARD).  Rubaiyat  of  Omar  Khayyam,  The  Astronomer- 
Poet  of  Persia.  Translated  into  English  Verse.  Small  thin  4to, 
original  wrappers,  very  carefully  rebacked.  Contained  in  a  solander 
case  lettered  for  the  first  three  editions.  London,  Quaritch,  1859 

THE  EXTBEMELY  BABE  FlRST  EDITION   IN   THE  ORIGINAL  WRAPPERS.      One  Of 

the  rarest  and  most  sought  for  books  in  English  Literature  of  the  Nine- 
teenth Century. 

The  history,  almost  a  romance,  of  this  little  pamphlet  is  well  known : 
how  it  was  at  first  a  complete  failure,  scarcely  one  of  the  few  copies 
issued  being  sold,  of  its  consignment  to  the  "two-penny  box"  through 
which  Rossetti  and  Swinburne  were  rummaging  when  they  came  across  it, 
and  then  of  its  meteoric  rise  to  appreciation  of  literary  values. 


604.  FITZGERALD  (EDWARD).    Rubaiyat  of  Omar  Khayyam,  the  Astronomer- 

•  Poet  of  Persia.     Translated  into  English  Verse.     4to,  wrappers, 

uncut.  London,  Quaritch,  1859  (1887) 

One  of  25  copies  privately  printed  by  Thomas  J.  Wise,  in  facsimile  of 
the  First  Edition. 


605.  FITZGERALD  (EDWARD).  Rubaiyat  of  Omar  Khayyam,  the  Astronomer- 
Poet  of  Persia.  Rendered  into  English  Verse.  Second  Edition. 
Small  thin  4to,  original  wrappers.  London,  Quaritch,  1868 

The  second  edition,  like  the  first,  has  practically  disappeared ;  it  has 
many   alterations   and   editions,    110   quatrains   instead   of   the   original 
seventy-five,  including  the  Quatrain  XXIV,  which  Swinburne  pronounced 
more  exquisite  than  any  that  had  appeared  in  the  first  edition: 
"I  sometimes  think  that  never  blows  so  red 
The  Rose  as  where  some  buried  Caesar  bled ; 

That  every  Hyacinth  the  Garden  wears 
Dropt  in  her  Lap  from  some  once  lovely  Head." 

Fitzgerald  had  this  edition  printed  for  himself  at  Bungay  by  John 
Childs,  a  local  printer  (while  the  first  had  been  printed  in  London  by 
G.  Norman),  the  alteration  no  doubt  enabling  him  to  correct  proofs  more 
easily. 


606.  FITZGERALD  (EDWARD).    Rubaiyat  of  Omar  Khayyam,  The  Astronomer- 

Poet  of  Persia.  Rendered  into  English  Verse.  Third  edition.  Small

Spark  of  Heavenly  Flame."  A  portrait  is  sometimes  found  with  copies 
of  this  edition,  but  in  this  is  absent,  and  it  is  a  question  whether  a 
portrait  was  issued  with  it.  This  copy  has  the  leaf  "A"  before  title-page.

An  unusual  collection  of  FIRST  EDITIONS  of  Thomas  Hardy  in  the 
ORIGINAL  CLOTH,  AS  ISSUED.  Few  modern  authors  are  so  difficult  to 
secure  in  the  original  editions  as  Hardy.  His  early  books  had  a  very 
small  sale  and  such  copies  as  were  sold  were  mainly  bought  by  the 
Circulating  Libraries,  consequently  most  of  the  volumes  in  this  set  are 
library  copies,  with  the  labels  removed.  Hardy's  first  book,  "Desperate 
Remedies,"  was  issued  anonymously  and  is  practically  unprocurable  in 
the  first  edition. 

Seldom  is  such  a  long  series  of  Hardy's  First  Editions  offered  for 
sale.

HORACE  WAUOLE'S  COPY,  with  his  bookplate,  and  inscribed  by  him 
on  a  fly-leaf  "Bought  at  the  sale  of  John  Earl  Oranville,  1763.  H.  W." 
The  excessively  rare  thick  paper  copy  of  this  series  of  Poems  written 
at  Harvard,  in  Latin,  Greek  and  English,  on  the  death  of  George  II  and 
the  ascension  to  the  throne  of  George  III.  Laid  in  is  Justin  Winsor's 
monograph  on  the  various  authors,  whom  he  concludes  to  be  Benjamin 
Church,  Stephen  Sewall,  John  Winthrop  and  others.  He  also  states 
that  these  copies  on  thick  paper  were  sent  to  England  for  the  members 
of  the  Royal  Family  and  likely  entrusted  to  the  care  of  Thomas  Hollis  to 
be  suitably  bound,  (Hollis  gave  the  Greek  type  used,  and  this  was  the 
only  time  it  was  used,  being  later  destroyed  in  the  fire).

The  first  leaf  lacking  in  No.  1,  and  four  numbers  without  wrappers. 

Cambridge,  1827-1828 

,  Holmes  of  the  class  of  '29,  was  presumably  associated  with  the  Poly- 
glot Club,  composed  of  the  editors  of  this  publication,  and  as  none  of  his 
poems  are  signed,  it  is  indeterminable  which  are  the  product  of  his  pen. 
In  the  "Amateur"  of  1830,  poems  are  signed  "H"  and  "O.  W.  H.",  all 
of  which  are  attributed  to  him.  In  the  "Harvard  Register"  the  poem, — 
"Napoleon's  Departure  to  St.  Helena,"  p.  27,  is  signed  "H"  and  has  a 
footnote  by  the  editor, — "We  hope  to  be  frequently  favored  with  com- 
munications from  the  same  pen,"  which  would  indicate  that  perhaps 
this  is  among  the  earliest,  if  not  the  very  first  of  Holmes'  literary  efforts 
to  appear  in  print.

12mo,  dark  brown  crushed  levant  morocco,  gilt  back  and  inside 
borders,  gilt  edges,  BY  BIVIEEE. 

London:  Printed  by  T.  Plummer,  1802 

FIRST  EDITION.  This  was  Lamb's  first  attempt  at  play  writing,  which 
he  sent  to  Charles  Keirible  in  the  hope  of  the  actor's  presenting  it  to  the 
public,  but  Kemble  promptly  lost  the  manuscript,  and  in  consequence 
Lamb  had  to  write  another  version.  In  the  first  letter  that  Lamb  wrote 
to  Southey,  alluding  to  it,  he  said,- — "My  tragedy  will  be  a  medley  of 
laughter  and  tears — songs,  icit,  pathos,  humor — Heaven  send  they  dance 
not  the  dance  of  death."  It  is  particularly  interesting  as  the  first  evi- 
dence of  Lamb's  study  of  the  dramatic  poetry  of  the  Elizabethan  age,  in 
whose  revival  he  bore  so  large  a  part.  William  Godwin  accidently  seeing 
the  delicious  rhymed  passage  in  the  "Forest  scene,"  took  it  for  a  choice 
fragment  from  the  old  dramatists  and  went  to  Lamb  to  assist  him  in 
finding  the  author. 

A  Presentation  Copy,  having  inscribed  in  Lamb's  hand, — "From  the 
Author  to  T.  Monkhouse,  March  1818,"  on  fly-leaf. 

925.  LAMB  (CHAELES).     The  Adventures  of  Ulysses.    Engraved  frontispiece 

and  Title  by  Heath  after  Corbould.  12mo,  robin's  egg  blue  crushed 
levant  morocco,  gilt  fillet  lines,  inside  dentelle  borders,  gilt  top,  the 
other  edges  uncut.  London,  1808 

FIRST  EDITION,  VERY  RARE  IN  UNCUT  STATE,  measuring  7x4%  in.  An 
exceptionally  fine  copy. 

Godwin,  who  published  this  work,  took  exception  to  certain  passages 
in  the  manuscript  saying:  "We  live  in  a  squeamish  age,"  thus  giving 
offense  to  Lamb,  who  replied ;  "If  you  want  a  book  which  is  not 
occasionally  to  shock,  you  should  have  thought  of  a  tale  which  was  not 
so  full  of  anthropophagi  and  wonders ...  I  only  say  that  I  will  not 
consent  to  alter  such  passages,  which  I  know  to  be  some  of  the  best  in 
the  book.  As  an  author  I  say  to  you,  an  author,  touch  not  my  work. 
As  a  bookseller,  I  say;  Take  the  work  such  as  it  is,  or  refuse  it.  You 
are  as  free  to  refuse  it  as  when  we  first  talked  of  it.  As  a  friend  I  say : 
Don't  plague  yourself  and  me  with  nonsensical  objections.  I  assure 
you  I  will  not  alter  one  more  word."

12mo,  crimson  crushed  levant  morocco,  inside  gilt  borders  and  gilt 
edges,  BY  RIVIERE.  London :  Printed  for  M.  J.  Godwin,  1809 

FIRST  EDITION  AND  FIRST  ISSUE.     VERY  RARE. 

Only  three  pieces  were  by  Charles  Lamb ;  the  others  were  by  Mary. 
For  this  we  have  Lamb's  own  statement,  made  in  a  letter  to  Bernard 
Barton,  written  in  1824  : 

"My  sister's  part  in  the  'Leicester's  School'  (about  two  thirds)  was 
purely  her  own;  as  it  was  (to  the  same  quantity)  in  the  'Shakespeara 
Talcs'  which  bear  my  name.  I  wrote  only  the  'Witch  Aunt,'  the  'First 
Going  to  School,'  and  the  final  story  about  'A  Little  Indian  Girl'  in  a 
ship." 

This  book,  was,  no  doubt,  made  at  Godwin's  suggestion.  It  seems  to 
have  been  published  late  in  1808,  though  dated  1809.  The  copyrights 
for  this  volume  and  "Tales  from  Shakespeare"  were  sold  to  Baldwin  and 
Craddock  on  July  21,  1836,  by  Mary  Lamb  for  £15.0.0.  According  to 
the  indention  the  original  holder  of  the  copyright  was  William  Godwin.

MASON  AND  SLIDELL  :  A  YANKEE  IDYLL 


Jo  the  Ktlilori  of  the  ATLANTIC  MOKTHI-T. 

Jaalam,  6"  Jan.,  1362. 

GESTT.EMEK,—  I  was  highly  gratified  by  the  insertion  of  a  portion  of  my  letter  in  the  but 
number  of  your  valuable  and  entertaining  MUcellany,  though  in  a  type  which  rendered  its 
substance  inaccessible  even  to  the  beautiful  new  spectacles  presented  to  me  by  a  Committee  of 
the  Parish  on  New- Year's  Day.  I  trust  that  I  was  able  to  bear  your  very  considerable  abridg- 
ment of  ray  lucubration*  with  a  spirit  becoming  a  Christian.  My  third  grand-daughter,  Rc- 
befcah,  aged  fourteen  years,  and  whom  I  have  trained  to  read  slowly  and  with  proper  em- 
phasis, (a  practice  too  much  neglected  In  our  modern  »ystems  of  education,)  read  aloud  to  me 
the  excellent  way  up.m  "  Old  Age,"  tho  authour  of  which  I  cannot  help  suspecting  to  be  a 
young  man  who  has  never  yet  known  v  hat  it  was  to  have  snow  (ontViVi  ITOTOM)  upon  his  own 
"roof.  Diaclte  friyns,  I'irgt  nftrfaca  Hyrn  repentnt,  is  a  rule  f»r  the  young,  whose  wood-pile 
is  yet  abundant  for  nu-h'  cheerful  lenitives.  A  good  life  behind  him  is  the  best  thing  to  keep 
an  old  man's  shoulders  from  shivering  at  every  breath  of  sorrow  or  ill-fortune.  But  methink* 
it  were  easier  for  an  old  man  to  feel  the  disadvantages  of  youth  than  the  advantages  of  age.  Of 
these  latter  I  reckon  one  of  the  chiefat  to  be  this:  that  we  attach  a  lesa  inordinate  value  to  our 
own  productions,  anil,  distrusting  daily  more  and  more  our  own  wwdom,  (with  the  conceit  where- 
of at  twenty  we  wrap  ourselves  away  from  knowledge  as  with  a  garment,)  do  reconcile  ourselvet 
with  the  wisdom  of  Gtxl.  I  could  have  wished,  indeed,  that  room  might  have  been  made  for 
the  residue  of  the  anecdote  relating  to  Deacon  Tinkham,  which  would  not  only  have  gratified 
•  natural  cariwity  on  the  part  of  the  publkk,  (a»  I  have  reason  to  know  from  several  letters 
of  inquiry  already  received,)  but  would  also,  as  I  think,  have  largely  increased  the  circulation 
of  your  Magazine  in  this  town.  A'Oul  humaai  atitaam,  there  is  a  curiosity  about  the  affairs 
of  our  neighbours  which  is  not  only  pardonable,  but  even  commendable.  But  I  shall  abide  a 
more  fitting  season. 

A»  touching  the  following  literary  effort  of  Esqi 
on  the  topick  of  Myllick  and  Pastoral  Poetry,  and  co 
between  them,  from  Theocritus,  the  inventor  uf  the  f 
of  who  has  emulated  the  classicks  in  the  latter  style 
Milton  to  defend  ami  «  Lucan  to  sing,  it  may  be 


!  Biglow,  much  might  be  profitably  said 
:rning  the  proper  distinctions  to  be  made 
icr,  to  Collins,  the  latest  authonr  I  know 
Brit  in  the  time  of  a  civil  war  worthy  a 
iblv  doubted  whether  the  publick,  nev 


too  rtudious  of  serious  instruction,  might  not  consider  other  objects  more  deserving  of  present 
attention.  Concerning  the  title  of  Idyll,  which  Mr.  Biglow  has  adopted  at  my  suggestion,  it 
may  not  be  improper  to  animadvert,  that  the  name  properly  signifies  a  poem  somewhat  rustick 
in  phrase,  (for,  though  the  learned  are  not  agreed  as  to  the  particular  dialect  employed  by  The- 
ocritus, they  are  unlvenwnimous  both  as  to  its  rusticity  and.  its  capacity  of  rising  now  and  then 
to  the  level  of  more  derated  sentiments  and  expressions,)  while  it  is  also  descriptive  of  real 
scenery  and  manners.  Yet  it  must  be  admitted  that  the  production  now  in  question  (which, 
here  «nd  there  bears  perhaps  too  plainly  the  marks  of  my  correcting  hand)  does  partake  of  tb» 
nature  of  a  Pastoral,  inasmuch  as  the  interlocutors  therein  are  purely  imaginary  beings,  and  the 
whole  Is  little  better  than  noirvoS  «<of  Jvop.  The  plot  was,  as  I  believe,  suggested  by  the 
"  Twa  Briggs  "  of  Robert  Burns,  a  Scottish  poet  «f  the  last  century,  as  that  found  its  prototype 
in  the  "Mutual  Complaint  of  Plainstanea  and  Causey  "  by  Fergusson,  though  the  metre  of  tbta 
latter  be  different  by  a  foot  in  each  verse.  I  reminded  my  talented  young  parishioner  and 
friend  that  Concord  Bridge  had  long  since  yielded  to  the  edacious  tooth  of  Time.  But  he 
answered  me  to  this  effect:  that  there  was  no  greater  mistake  of  >n  authour  than  to  suppose 
the  reader  had  no  fimcy  of  his  own;  that,  if  once  that  faculty  was  to  be  called  into  activity,  it 
were  Mttr  to  be  in  for  the  whole  sheep  than  the  shoulder ;  and  that  he  knew  Concord  like  >  book, 
—  an  expression  questionable  in  propriety,  since  there  are  few  things  with  which  he  is  not  more 
familiar  thim  wjth  the  printed  page.  In  proof  of  what  he  affirmed,  he  showed  me  some  verses 
•which  with  othcft  he  had  stricken  out  as  too  much  delaying  the  action,  bat  which  I  commu- 
nicate in  this  place  because  they  rightly  define  "  punkin-secd,"  (which  Mr.  Bartlett  would  have 
a  kind  of  perch,  —  a  creature  to  which  I  have  found  a  rod  or  pole  not  to  be  so  easily  equivalent 
in  oar  Inland  waters  as  in  the  books  of  arithmetic,)  and  because  it  conveys  an  euloglnm  on  the 
worthy  son  c* an  excellent  father,  with  whose  acquaintance  (duv,  fogaca  rum! )  I  wa»  formerly 
honoured.

FIRST  EDITION  AND  FIRST  TITLE  AND  GENUINE  THROUGHOUT,  EXCEEDINGLY 
RARE  IN  THIS  STATE.  Apparently  very  few  copies  were  sold  of  this  first 
issue  before  the  publisher  re-issued  the  book  with  a  new  title-page, 
using  for  the  most  part  the  original  sheets.  Some  imperfect  copies  of 
the  first  edition  have  been  completed  from  these  re-issues,  but  as  a  few 
of  the  sheets  were  reprinted  from  the  standing  types,  on  paper  with  a 
diffrent  water-mark,  it  is  absolutely  necessary  for  the  careful  collector 
to  obtain  a  copy  in  its  original  condition,  and  which  certainly  has  not 
been  tampered  with.  This  copy  is  one  of  the  few  in  existence.  On  the 
title  is  faintly  seen  the  contemporary  autograph  of  the  original  owner 
"Phil  Button,"  and  another  name.

To- All  whom  rhefe  Presents  may  Concern. 

HA  D  I   not  been  an  Eye  and  Ear-Witncfs  of  the  late  rafh  Mea- 
furcs  in  this  Province,  I  could  not  have  believ'd  that  an  Infant 
Colony  of  England,  as  yet  lacking  her  Breads,  could  thus  have 
flown  in  her  Face;  or  that  a  Body  of  People  ib  diftinguifh'd  by- 
many  Marks  of  Her  Majefry's  Grace  and  Favour,  could  be  fo  ungrate- 
ful, as  to  brand  Her  moft  juft  and  gentle  Reign  with  the  odious  Name 
of  Tyranny  :    For  if  Supporting  her  Government  in.  the  Manner  She 
has  diredcd,  be  Slavery,  (as  the  angry  Fadion  have  induftrioufly  pro- 
claimed abroad,  and  taught  the  unthinking  People  to  echo  back)  the 
giving  fuch  Directions  or  Inftrudions,    mutt,   by  undeniable  Conic- 
quence,  be  Tyranny.  . 

The  Apprehenfion  of  the  Danger  that  attends  thcfc  Mcafures  (  for 
whatever  my  Concern  may  be  /«  the  Country,  I  have  as  great  a  one 
for  it  as  any  Man)  has  induced  me  to  publifh,  in  the  eleareft  Manner  I 
am  able,  the  State  of  the  Caie  in  Difpute,  between  the  OJJEEN 
(tor  ib  it  is)  and  the  late  Aflemblics  here,  in  order  to  prevent,  if  pofli- 
ble,  the  Next  from  running  upon  the  fame  Rocks,  and,  by  that  Means, 
the  Effects  of  Her  Majefty'sjuft  Rcfentment  for  their  undutiful  Beha- 
viour. And  indeed  there  is  nothing  wanting  but  a  true  State  of  the 
Cafe,  to  fhew  the  Unreafonablenefi  and  Danger  of  fuch  an  unnatural 
and  impotent  Struggle,  the  Ncceffity  of  Recanting  and  Remedying 
what  is  part,  and  to  open  the  Eyes  and  Underftandings  of  the  People 
blinded  with  falfe  Colours,  and  bambouzled  with  Noifc  and  Abfurdities. 

<Tbe  CASE.  Jlandi  thus: 

The  Revenue  being  dropt  in  the  Year  1705),  Her  Majefty  has,  by 
the  Mouths  of  Her  feveral  Governors  fince  that  Time,  eanieftly  recom- 
mended to  the  Aflemblies  here,  the  fettling  of  a  Revenue  for  the  Sup- 
port of  her  Government  in  this  Province.  The  Lords  Commiffioners 
of  Trade  (a  Body  of  Men  confifting  of  all  the  Chief  Minifters  of  State, 
with  others  fet  apart  for  the  Care  and  Management  of  Her  Majcfty's 
Plantations)  have,  in  their  feveral  Letters  to  the  prcfent  Governor, 
affirmed,  The  not  Settling,  or  deferring  to  fettle  fuch  a  Revenue,  to 
be  Ob/iutocy,  Difre/feci,  and  Wast  of  Duty  to  Her  Majefy. 

'  The  Affembly,  or  more  properly  a  PARTY  there,  pretend,  That 
they  were  ready  Mil  mUliug  tofupfort  tbe  Government,  but  the  Governor 
bad  ryefled  toeir  Bills  fur  that  -I'arfefe. 

In  the  Fi'-jl  fhice,  it  is  obvious,  That  in  the  Courfe.of  Three  Years 
that  he  has  rcfided  amongft  us,  and  during  the  many  (by  him)  unin- 
terupted  Sclfions  of  Affcmbly,  there  has  not  been  one  fingle  Bill  for 
that  Purpofe  offered  to  him  for  his  Aflent.  True  it  is,  that  feveral 
Money  Bills  have  been  fent  up  from  the  Houfe  of  Rcprcfentatives,  to 
the  Council,  for  their  Concurrence,  of  which  Number  there  was  only 
One  that  mention'd  the  Support  of  Government ;  but  all  of  them  in 
fuch  Terms,  and  clog'd  with  fuch  Claufes,  that  the  Council,  without 
the  higheft  breach  of  their  Truft,  their  Oath  and  their  Allegiance, 
could  not  pals  them.

Pope.  From  the  time  of  the  preaching  of  this  sermon  ("Qui  regis 
Israel")  it  became  a  battle  to  the  death  between  the  Reformer  and  his 
political  enemies  backed  by  the  Pope,  in  which  the  latter  triumphed  two 
years  later.

1402.  SHELLEY   (PERCY  BYSSHE).     The  Cenci.     A  Tragedy  in  Five  Acts. 

Tall  8vo,  brown  morocco,  wide  gilt  border,  gilt  top,  uncut,  BY  THE 
CLUB  BINDERY.  Italy  and  London,  1819 

FIRST  EDITION.  UNCUT.  VERY  FINE  COPY,  WITH  LARGE  MARGINS. 
Shelley  printed  only  a  very  limited  edition.  This  copy  has  the  rare 
original  blank  leaf  before  title. 

There  is  no  printers  name  in  the  book,  and  Shelley  told  Peacock  that 
he  meant  the  Tragedy  to  be  published  with  a  frontispiece  from  Guide's 
portrait  of  Beatrice.  The  book  was  printed  at  Leghorn  though  not  pub- 
lished in  England  until  the  spring  of  1820,  and  then  without  the  intended 
frontispiece.  Shelley  writes,  "I  cannot  describe  the  trouble  I  had  with 
the  Italian  printer."  The  list  of  "Errata"  exists  only  in  Shelley's  auto- 
graph, but  so  far  as  known,  has  never  been  printed.  The  second  edition, 
duly  corrected,  appeared  in  London,  dated  1821,  however,  before  Shelley's 
MS.  errata  turned  up.  It  is  therefore  clear  that  the  proper  basis  of 
the  text  is  the  first  edition.

in  four  Acts.  With  Other  Poems.  8vo,  brown  morocco,  wide  ribbon 
border,  gilt  top,  uncut,  BY  THE  CLUB  BINDERY.  Lacks  the  first 
half-title.  London,  1820 

FIRST  EDITION,  very  rare  uncut.     Bound  uniform  with  above. 

1404.  SHELLEY  (PERCY  BYSSHE).    Queen  Mab.    FIRST  PUBLISHED  EDITION. 

8vo,  green  crushed  levant  morocco,  inside  gilt  borders,  gilt  top,  BY 
THE  CLUB  BIXDERY.  London,  1821 

The  First  Edition,  privately  printed  by  the  poet  himself,  was  withdrawn 
from  circulation  and  is  consequently  rarely  met  with.  This  edition  with 
Clark's  imprint  was  the  next  in  order  of  publication,  and  the  first  to  be 
issued  for  public  sale.  Some  copies  contain  the  Dedication,  which  is 
not  in  this.

dated  from  Skerryvore,  Bournemouth,  writing  cordially  to  J.  Fitzgerald 
Molloy  as  a  brother-author,  and  with  reference  to  the  "Inland  Voyage,"- 

"There  are,  I  think,  some  six  Molloys  in  the  field  of  letters  .  .  .  that 
which  I  remember  with  the  greatest  clearness  is  the  'Autumn  Holiday' ; 
and  if  that  is  yours  I  think  I  am  already  in  your  debt.  For  I  remember 
clearly  it  was  the  success  of  the  Autumn  Holiday,  and  the  pleasure  I  had 
in  reading  it  which  encouraged  me  to  re-write  and  prepare  for  press  the 
Journal  of  my  Inland  Voyage"  .  .  .  closing  with  a  humorous  reference 
to  his  being  haunted  by  "a  Mr.  Stevenson  the  author  in  umbra  nominis, 
for  me,  who  comes  and  goes  and  sometimes  passes  for  me."

London,  John  Camden  Hotten,  1866 

FIRST  EDITION.  VERY  RARE.  Not  included  by  Swinburne  in  any  of  his

SWINBURNE'S  OWN  COPY,  AUTOGRAPHED  ON  THE  HAJ.F-TITLE,  and  later  in 
the  possesion  of  Thomas  ,T.  Wise,  who  reproduced  this  volume  in  his 
Swinburne  Bibliography,  stating  that  very  few  copies  were  printed. 
"Moxon  was  terribly  nervous  in  those  days,"  and  these  were  distributed 
among  friends. 

1547.  SWINBURNE    (ALGERNON   CHARLES).     Manuscript  of  the  Masque  of 

Queen  Bersabe.  The  original  manuscript  of  one  of  the  principal 
poems  of  "Poems  and  Ballads,"  entitled  "The  Masque  of  Queen 
Bersabe,"  written  by  Swinburne  on  13  quarto  and  folio  sheets  of 
paper,  many  of  the  pages  being  covered  on  both  sides,  the  manuscript 
showing  many  evidences  of  the  way  in  which  Swinburne  re-wrote 
lines  and  verses  until  he  arrived  at  the  one  which  suited  him. 
Accompanied  by  part  of  the  printed  poem  extracted  from  the  Ameri- 
can edition  of  the  "Laus  Veneris."  In  half  morocco  folder. 

(1866) 

The  manuscript  is  complete,  containing  the  first  draft  of  the  entire 
poem.  A  very  fine  example.  Swinburne  has  full  play  for  his  genius 
in  the  description  each  Queen  or  Beautiful  Woman  gives  of  herself  as 
she  appears  before  King  David.  And  as  Sappho,  Cleopatra,  Semiramis, 
Thomiris,  Herodias,  Messalina  and  Queen  Bersabe  appear,  the  imagina- 
tion is  stirred  by  the  beauty  and  melody  of  the  poem.

*  London,  Moxon,  1866 

MOXON  MINIATURE  POETS  SERIES,  with  two  very  fine  Swinburne  letters 
inserted,  relating  to  his  preparation  of  these  Byron  selections,  writing 
incidentally  "As  1  want  to  have  the  opinion  of  another  as  to  my  choice,  I 
have  sent  my  copy  of  Byron,  marked  and  with  leaves  doubled  at  the  pro- 
posed extracts,  with  numbered  list  of  contents  as  I  propose  they  shall 
stand  to  Mr.  Rossetti  requesting  him  to  revise."  He  refers  rather 
sarcastically  to  his  name  figuring  in  a  series  which  counts  among  its 
"Poets,"  Tupper  and  Locker:  "It  is  only  the  recollection  that  Palgrave 
with  Wordsworth  came  after  Locker  which  would  make  me  willingly 
consent  to  come  after  Tupper  with  Byron,"  etc.  In  the  second  letter  he 
thanks  him  for  cheque  and  says  he  is  very  impatient  to  see  the  book.

utmost  rarity.

A  Swinburne  manuscript  inserted.  A  torn  half-sheet  of  blue  paper 
covered  with  lines  of  verse  on  both  sides,  corrected  and  scored  out  time 
after  time,  but  finally  leaving  intact  the  following  lines, — 

"/  saic  fallen  as.  they  fled, 
Clothed  with  laughter,  crowned  with  tears 
Veiled  and  naked,  pale  and  red 
Twenty  shadows  which  were  years 
Some  in  face  like  flowers  that  come 
Ere  the  Summer  catch  the  Spring 
Some  with  sweet  Mind  eyes,  and  some 

With  sweet  lips  that " 

No  more  interesting  example  could  be  had  showing  Swinburne's  method 
of  trying  many  lines  until  the  right  one  was  secured.

London,  1847-1848 

Vanity  Fair,  in  the  original  parts,  in  perfect  condition  is  almost  an 
unobtainable  rarity.  Most  of  the  known  copies  are  defective,  more  or 
less  and  this  likewise  has  been  made  up,  with  some  errors.  Many  of  the 
advertisements  are  lacking,  Parts  1,  10,  14,  18  and  19  have  had  the  wrong 
back  covers  supplied ;  part  4  has  a  late  issue  of  the  front  cover  without 
the  number  or  date  and  blank  inside ;  part  9  is  wrong  both  front  and

London,  1853-1854 

Lacking  the  advertisements  in  Parts  I-IV,  and  a  few  leaves  of  the 
advertisements  elsewhere.  It  is  very  difficult  to  find  any  two  books  of 
Thackeray  which  were  issued  in  parts  agreeing  in  the  advertisements 
or  in  the  placing  of  them,  and  variations  will  be  found  in  the  advertise-

Premonition,"  where  Wither  states  that  a  license  for  him  to  print  it 
being  refused,  he  had  to  print  every  sheet  of  it  with  his  own  hands.  He 
made  a  good  job  of  it  nevertheless,  and  most  readers  will  do  as  Wither 
asks  "wink  at  these  faults."
